Talk:Robot Taekwon V

Fleshing out?
The subject in question is supposedly one of the most beloved giant robot shows in Korea, I'm sure someone can provide some details to flesh out this article. As it stands, this article makes it seem that the only thing notable about Taekwan V is its suspicious resemblance to Mazinger Z. While I personaly find that comparison to be of exceptional significance, I'd like to know what merits the show itself has. Does anyone have information pertaining to this?--KefkaTheClown 03:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, Kefka, I for one have every intention of fleshing the article out eventually. I put the stub up because I thought it should have an article, and a start is better than nothing. Please feel free to research and add to it yourself if you're so inclined. The Mazinger Z section was just put in to rebut an anonymous editor who put in a poorly-worded, unreferenced accusation of plagiarism against Kim Cheong-gi. And I agree it is a disproportionate part of the article for now. Thanks for cutting it down. Now maybe you'll help build the article up? -- Rizzleboffin 04:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Can someone please add some English details about the sequels - translation of the names, how long they were, etc. It would also be nice to find an English-language source that mentions them... Esn 05:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * You may also want to note that Taekwon V 's plagiarism of its source material has made it a visible target for mockery by Japanese anime otaku, at least on YouTube; given the attitude of certain users toward it, it could actually be a basis for anti-Korean sentiment among some...
 * Also, food for thought: the main mecha from 84 Taekwon V and Super Taekwon V seems to be derived from the design of Xabungle (from Combat Mecha Xabungle) instead of Mazinger Z. --E. Megas 23:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * American mecha fans like to mock Tae Kwon V (along with the oodles of other Korean rip-off mecha) too.


 * I'm sure they do. I'm old enough to remember when anything from Japan was mocked by Americans as a rip-off of something from the US. "Made in Japan" was equivalent to saying, "Crappy rip-off." All that really proves is narrow-mindedness and national bigotry. Influences flow back and forth from country to country. The opinion of professional critics is appropriate for an encyclopedia article, but opinions expressed at fan-blogs are not of encyclopedic value, as Wikipedia policies state. Also, plagiarism is a crime. Crimes are proven through the legal system. To use a Wikipedia to accuse someone of plagiarism would not only be unencyclopedic and POV, it would be libelous.

 * Was Taekwon V the first martial art fighting mecha? I agree other than the slight similar appearance, Taekwon is a completely different mecha especially with using a martial art as its main weapon. -- Godaiger 12:44 24 August 2007

please see http://swindlemagazine.com/issue10/korean-animation/. I'd reference it but figuring out how to add references just takes too much time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.228.160 (talk) 02:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

There is "martial arts mecha" to an enemy of "Mazinger Z" and mecha using "JUDO arts" exists in "Getter Robo(1974)". 60.39.45.143 (talk) 08:38, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Syncro System
The insistence that it was first-ever robot that used 'Syncro System' was found on the other hand. Please let me insist here because it is a mistake. 'Syncro System' is promptly used with Brave Raideen in 1975.

1 The life is shared.

2 It is explained that it is possible to manipulate it when praying.

The insistence that it was first-ever combative sports robot was found on the other hand. The judo athlete controls in Getter Robo in 1974, and the judo technique only for the robot is developed. (219.160.59.193 (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)).

Movies
There is going to be Taekwown V Robot the movie coming out in 2009. This must be add to this article.--Korsentry 04:07, 20 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanSentry (talk • contribs)

Space Gandam V made by Kim Cheong-gi(Creator of Taekwon V)
It will be brother Series of Taekwon V. There seems to be a common feature of the name. And, there might be a common feature that uses taekwondo maybe, too. http://www.akibatoday.com/cms/archives/news/2009/04/23/photo/2008/090423_1.jpg http://nandakorea.sakura.ne.jp/koreanihtml/c_10.html 60.33.34.29 (talk) 16:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
